Think you can hack it at MIT? If so, the world-renowned Massachusetts university will give you a new kind of document to prove it.

It’s announcing today it will offer credentials — under the name “MITx” — to students who complete the online version of courses.

“This is not MIT light. This is not an easier version of MIT,” said Provost L. Rafael Reif. “An MITx learner, anywhere they are, for them to earn a credential, they have to demonstrate mastery of the subject.”
